the site is doing special pics in honor of valentine's day.
and i have to say i really love the one for feb second to me it's really beautiful

not safe for work images of course here is the little note attached to the page

"In honor of Saint Valentine (and that sickflutterylove feeling you get in your stomach), The Adipositivity Project will feature a different photograph daily from February 1st through Valentine's Day, each depicting a fat woman with her squeeze. This means images of a more sexual nature than you're used to seeing here. If that sort of thing makes you go all Aunt Bea, better sit this one out, and we'll meet ya back here around mid-month.

Happy Valentine's Day/s!"

I personally love this site and i truly love seeing beautiful images of women who look like ME. Granted some are bigger or smaller or whatever but it's nice to see women who look more like me than i've seen in fashion mags or whatever.
This site gives me hope that maybe one day someone will look at me like i am a thing of beauty instead of something that is to be hidden away and shamed or to be ashamed of.
To me it's a site that validates the beauty of every woman, not just those lucky enough to look like angelina jolie or actresses on tv in movies or whatever that are all size 0 the women who get the lead roles that men swoon over and the bigger women get to be the quircky cute sassy best friend cus they are fat and GOD FORBID anyone find them attractive or the only role they have in movie/tv show or whatever is to be made fun of by said hunky actor or whatever. Fat women are more than just a punchiline my friends we have feelings and emotions and it hurts to be the butt of a joke or whatever. Fat women CAN be the leading lady and i think that every little girl big or small should be told this always. I have tried to do this with all the little girls in my life.

and now with all the IMs i am getting i have totally lost my train of thought... so this is where i will end this which may be good cus i was getting kind of emotinal.

and i thought i'd do my own model, I don't think this will upload to facebook so i am just going to put this as friends only for now

this can totally change as more pics are added

adipositivity

this is a fabulous site not sure if i've posted it before if not i SHOULD have.

Not sure how many of you have seen it... But every time it's on i find myself watching.
It has a really really great message
Ok but then i am a fan of any movie that a woman who isn't a size 0 gets the man lol


I also really like this one, this was one of the first movies i saw where the big girl gets the hot guy and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

this is completely stolen from intuition2rock2 from her repost lol so it's a post of a repost... ok i am in kind of a strange mood this afternoon lol
( read me )

this is an excerpt from a book there is too much to copy and paste so i am just providing the link

ok it was a lifetime movie done in like '89 or something with Ricki Lake and Craig Sheffer, kind of a cheesy movie lots of stereotypes but the message is a pretty good one so this is the reason i got the dvd.

Power of Being Big
By Gwen-Nicole O'Neal

I am Big and Beautiful
I have curves like you've never seen
Yes, when I walk, I jiggle
I have lots of Junk in my Trunk
I know where I shop
I know what I eat
But when I put it down
It cannot be beat.
You girls that are 1's and 2's
You do not know the pleasure that is me
My sisters that are 20's and up
Know the pleasure of not giving up.
We strive in a world that looks down on us,
We persevere in a society that wants none of us.
We love like no other
Our style can not be beat.
You tell us we would be pretty if we lost weight
Maybe if you gained a pound or two
You'd understand the glory that comes with being us.
Our skin is smooth
Our shape is curved
We don't need plastic surgery to give us an ass,
We do it Au Natural,
We do it with Cls.
So this is a call to all my Big, Beautiful Sisters.
Stand Up, Stand Proud.
For we are the true leaders of this land.
We love from the heart
Not our eyes.
We dress for ourselves
Not for society.
We are Big
We are Beautiful
We are WOMAN!

ok so i saw this posted on a LJ page and i had to repost this

"The Hot Fat Girl Manifesto

Because being a hot fat girl is a lot of work and is undervalued or unrecognized. Because a fat girl still has to pay more money for uglier clothes or spend 11 hours at the thrift store to find anything hot to wear. Because if you take the elevator, people think you're lazy but if you're on the treadmill, people laugh.

Because men like John Goodman and Bernie Mac get to have careers on television but sitcom-moms-of-three still have size-two waists. Because even feminist magazines publish fat-phobic articles under the guise of it being a "health issue." Because anti-capitalist activists still use expressions like "fat capitalist pig."

Because girls are dieting at the age of nine. Because side effects of the most popular diet drugs are seizures, heart failure, fecal urgency, breast cancer, lung disease, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, dangerously high blood pressure, abnormal heartbeat, psychosis, strokes, hallucinations and sudden death.

Because the Cooper Institute's ongoing study of 30,000 people has found that those who are fittest live the longest, no matter what they weigh. Because the doctor who said that there were 30,000 "obesity-related" deaths each year received over $2 million in research funding from Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers. Because that study prompted the FDA to approve Phen-Phen and Redux. Because fat-hatred is a money-making industry. Because fat people who exercise live longer than thin people who don't.

Because if you lose weight 'cause you're sick, people telling you how great you look. Because hatred is so ingrained in every single one of us, especially inside the heart of even the hottest fat girl. Because even the most progressive people don't talk or write about it.

Because I am tired of being ignored, invisible, de-sexualized and told that I have such a pretty face.

Because it's not fat that kills, it's fear of fat. For all that and more I am a part of the HOT FAT GIRL REVOLUTION!"
